Gorgeous building with lovely helpful staff and perfect location. We didn't realize there wasn't parking available and they organized somewhere to keep our car during our stay. Breakfast was yummy and the views were stunning. Right over the main street of Taormina.

Breakfast was just fine, not too many options but could work. Location was excellent, the idea of going to the first floor and exit to the main shopping street was great. Room was extremely clean but i could do a bigger shower area. It is recommended

We enjoyed the location, the breakfast and the building itself. Especially the balconies that overlook the main shopping street. However, of the 3 rooms our group reserved, the levels of comfort differed significantly. Some of us had air conditioning while others rooms felt warm all night, despite the air being on. Some of us had comfortable, soft beds, others had hard and uncomfortable beds. Some showers were very small and others fine. Like most small hotels in Italy, it really was a gamble on which you would get. The staff however was very kind and did try to help with the room temperature. The terrace bar was under construction but the lobby bar was a great amenity to have with a pleasant bartender.

This is a lovely hotel right off the Main Street in Taormina. I got a room with a little balcony which was worth it. The terrace was unfortunately closed and not sure why or for how long. Breakfast was good. Would stay again.

The air condition unit in my room was very old and did not work. Alberto kindly moved me to another room for 1 night but he could not do it for more because there was no free room. Thus I had to open the large windows for the nights and sleep without cover. That did not solve the problem because of extreme humidity due to the rain.

The Hotel was at the centre of a lot of restaurant s& Shops. The atmosphere was very lively and entertaining. Staff at reception were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was very nice and hotel was clean. The decor of the Reception area and other common areas was beautiful. Room was a bit small and it was disappointing that the Terrace area was closed for repair as the view from up there would have been amazing.

Very convenient location. I would highly recommend a taxi to / from the train station or airport. But once checked in, you can walk to everything! The hotel is old and the A/C wasn’t working very well. There was a HORRIFIC noise from the plumbing that would drive you crazy if you were there for any extended period. But we spent very little time in the hotel & honestly loved this stay. It was so convenient & had all the basics.

Average. It was advertised close to Corso Umberto. It was about 100 stairs to the Corso. The street in front is too narrow for car service to pull up to. We had to drag bags up and down to top of street where car could pick us up. Beds were uncomfortable. We asked for a refrigerator for in room. Got one the 2nd day there. We had to go to a grocery store and get ice to keep meds cool. No restaurant on-site for evening meals.
